Contact us at dodgeballforall@gmail.com or DM us on our Social Media platforms! If you have an idea of what we should do, what we should add, or what you can help us with, let us know!
We will have some paid positions and some volunteer positions available soon!
The ADPL is a chance for all Dodgeball Players in Auckland (and nearby) to play competitive dodgeball throughout the year with the same team.
The league will have the following divisions in 2026:
Junior (Y6 and Under)
Intermediate (Y8 and Under)
Girls' (Y8 and Under)
Teen (18 & Under)
Women
Open
Mixed* (3 Male & 3 Female identifying players)
*Having a mixed division will be dependent upon how many other entries there are.
Teams sign up to join our league. Each month we will have 1 to 3 fixtures and different venues throughout Auckland. Each team will be scheduled to have one full length game each month against a team in their division. Standings will be kept and there will be winners crowned at the end.
The format of each division may vary, depending upon the number of teams, but we will operate each division as long as we have two teams that commit to competing.
Registrations will open on 3 January, 2026, though the specific time has not been determined.
To compete in any Match Day (see FAQ below) your team will need to be registered one week earlier at 11:59pm. This means, to be registered to play on Match Day 1 (28 February) your team will need to be registered by 11:59pm on 21 February)
The actual matches will depend on which teams can make which days. Teams will likely be playing either Saturday or Sunday and we will endeavour to match all teams up with each other over the course of the year. Teams will be required to give availability in advance to make our scheduling easier.

Dodgeball For All will reserve a place for one team for the four Youth sessions currently on in both Junior and Intermediate. Players currently signed up for any Dodgeball For All Youth session (for game days on school holidays they must have been registered and paid for the previous Term OR for the next Term) may play on the relevant team (and potentially Junior players may play on the Intermediate team).
However, players who are registered in our Youth Sessions may also enter their own teams, if they wish.
The cost for the Entire 2026 APDL Season will be $300 per team.
Youth Playing Fees will be $5 per game provided they are signed up for the current Term's Youth Sessions.
These costs will go towards:
Equipment (Ball) Purchase
Referees
Standings and Statistics
Admin costs & Advertising
One thing that makes these things even more fun, is coordinated uniforms. Dodgeball For All is happy to work with teams to create and order uniforms from our supplier. We will aim to send an order off in early 2026 so that most teams will have uniforms.
Information to sign up for this will be available on the Team Entry Form.
Anyone who is able to get to the venues for the games in eligible to participate. Some divisions have restrictions on who can enter, but everyone is welcome to enter the Open division.
If you are eligible to play in multiple divisions, then you can play on multiple teams. However, you are only eligible to play for one team per division. This excludes instances where a team may need to have a replacement player on the day. Please see our substitution policy for clarification.
Most games will be played 6v6, though if necessary, we may drop that down to as low as 4v4 if it helps us field more teams. There is no limit to the number of players who are on your team, however, it is recommended to limit the number to 8 or 9 for any specific game, otherwise playing time may not be as high as players like.
If you don't have a team, you can sign up as an individual. However, we cannot guarantee we will be able to form a team for you and we cannot guarantee you will be paired with experienced players. We will ask teams that register if they would consider taking on more players, but they are not obligated to. If registered teams fill all the spaces, we may not be able to take on any individuals.
Let us know as soon as you can. There are several possibilities, depending on the number of teams in a division. We may be able to reschedule games and move them around to suit individual team needs. It is recommended that teams enter more than the minimum number of players so that if a player cannot make a specific date, the rest of the team will be present.
If a team knows they will all miss a certain date, please let us know in advance and we can make an attempt to reschedule games for days that work better.
Of course. We're trying to grow competitive dodgeball in Auckland and in New Zealand, not punish people for finding out about things too late. We will allow any signups as long as playoffs have not begun in that division (those dates will be posted later) and charge a reduced fee for the remaining games.
There is also the possibility, if you register early enough, that we can make up any potential matchups with other teams by playing two games on a match day. We will discuss options with any team that signs up after the first entry deadline.
